Lithuania Company Formation Questions
Why does the residence route need a larger investment?
Lithuania requires the company to have equity of at least €28,000 and to employ staff before granting a business residence permit to the owner.
Can I get a fintech licence?
Yes. Lithuania licenses electronic money and payment institutions through the Bank of Lithuania; we partner with specialist counsel for these.
Is the 6% small-company rate automatic?
It applies if revenue is under €300,000 and other conditions are met; otherwise the standard rate applies.
